MVP time?

Firstly, before I get into MVP talk, I’d like to direct your attention to Marlon Byrd. The Byrdman, if you will, is raking. Over the last 30 days he’s hit 6 bombs, stolen 4 bags and has plenty of RBIs and Runs as he’s hitting 3rd/4th in the powerful Texas lineup. Despite that, he’s owned in just 12% of ESPN leagues. SURELY more than 88% of leagues have 10+ managers. And if so, you should own the Byrdman.

But now for MVP talk…
NL: Pujols, caseclosed. yea, yea I know the argument for Lincecum but King Albert is the easiest pick in years.
AL: As debated furiously last night it should not be Tex. It should not be Jeter. It should be Mauer.

I think Jeter deserves one as a sort of life-time achievement and sorry-we-dicked-you-a-few-years-ago, but not when their is a catcher that’s darn-near .400.

Without Mauer the Twins would have been the Padres – A helpless offense with a power-hitting 1B. That’s it.
